l I; To alt tuhom it mag/concern! Be ltlHlOWIl that I,WILLIAM S .,S HUPE, a

u and State of citizen .of the United States, residing, at

Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia Pennsylvania, have invented certain. new and useful Improvements in Heaters,,of which the' following is a specifiv of furnaces, using flames and heat.

I cation. r v This inventlon has reference to heaters and is intended particularlyforuse in furnaces of the hot air or hot water or pipelesstypes gas as a fuel. 1 j

The heater comprises a two section casing, having a baflie plate interposed between the sections and extending outwardly and downwardly to form an annular flange, the upper casing section being provided with peripheral openings and surmounted by a coneshaped dome, the edge of which extends beyond the casing forming a spreader for the A suitable burner is positioned in the lower section,'which'burner is connected to a suitable source of gas'supply.

tailed description The invention will be best understood from a consideration of :the following detaken in connection with the accompanying provided with the invention.

I a typical form offurnace 1 -ularly for the employment :of hot air as a Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of the heating element embodying the invention.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one element of theheating section;

The plate 7 is provide upon its upperand keeping the same correctly positioned between the upper and lower cylinders The crown 13 is provided with'lugs7 which assist in with a circular series of shouldersl l constituting supports for the crow n13 sleeve 10. I
